We all know that if you hold a licence you do as much flying as you can afford, both financially and due to time constraints.
Based on how much time you do fly, however, I am interested to know how that time is spent? Without finger-pointing, criticising or accusing, as this is not the point of my question, I would be interested to hear whether people who do around the minimum time per year to keep valid practise any kind of emergency drills/PFLs, EFATOs etc.?
I would also like to put this question out to those who do more hours per year aswell (bose etc.) - for example, does anybody discipline themselves to fly an hour in every x number of hours/months with another qualified pilot who can simulate emergency situations unheralded? If so, what kind of things do you practise? How many times? How much added value do you get out of such flights?
I know that revalidations probably include this type of stuff, but I think it would be really interesting to see different people's viewpoints on how often they practise these things over the course of the year. I ask because it's the kind of thing that isn't set in stone, and so there is no requirement (per se) to do anything of the kind, but clearly not doing so is potentially reckless, and lots of people (I hope) will have opinions on this.
Thoughts on this very much appreciated, just something I wonder about from time to time!
